Where applicable, livestock may be assessed based on factors such as:
- Species
- Breed or type

Livestock are living animals and their condition may change before collection, loading, transportation, delivery, or acceptance.

6. ORDERS AND CONFIRMATION
Customers may place orders or requests through our authorized communication channels.
An order should specify, where applicable:
- Type of livestock required
- Quantity
- Quality or specifications
- Delivery or collection location
- Preferred delivery date
- Other relevant requirements
We reserve the right to accept, reject, modify, or partially fulfill an order based on availability, logistics, compliance requirements, and other legitimate business considerations.

Depending on the transaction, payment may be required:
- Before delivery;
- Upon collection;
- Upon delivery;
- In agreed installments; or
- According to an approved credit arrangement.
Customers are responsible for making payments by the agreed due date.
Where payment is delayed, we may suspend further deliveries, cancel outstanding orders, or take other lawful steps to recover amounts due.
Any applicable transaction charges, transportation costs, inspection fees, taxes, or other agreed costs will be communicated as part of the transaction.

Unless otherwise agreed, customers should inspect livestock at the agreed point of handover or delivery.
Where livestock remain in our custody or under transportation arranged by us, we will take reasonable steps to facilitate their safe handling and transportation.
However, because livestock are living animals, we cannot guarantee that animals will remain in exactly the same physical condition throughout the supply and transportation process.
12. VETERINARY, REGULATORY AND MOVEMENT REQUIREMENTS
Livestock transactions and transportation may be subject to veterinary, animal-health, movement, border, customs, identification, inspection, and other regulatory requirements.
The parties are responsible for complying with requirements applicable to their respective responsibilities.
Where permits, certificates, veterinary documentation, movement documents, or other approvals are required, the responsible party must obtain and provide them within the required timeframe.

The applicable cancellation terms may be agreed separately depending on the nature and size of the transaction.
15. RETURNS, REJECTIONS AND DISPUTES
Because livestock are living animals, returns may not always be practical or possible.
Any concern regarding livestock supplied should be reported promptly, preferably at the time of delivery or collection.
Where appropriate, we may investigate the issue using available transaction records, inspection reports, veterinary documentation, photographs, delivery records, or other relevant evidence.
Any refund, replacement, adjustment, or other remedy will depend on the circumstances of the transaction and applicable law.
